Camille's way of working

Camille works in a collaborative way, enabling clients to take an active role in their therapy. She offers a range of evidence-based therapies including cognitive emotional behavioural therapy, Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) and her work is influenced by Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).  

Camille will ask each client to undertake a psychological assessment before commencing therapy and this will enable her to establish therapeutic goals and tailor her approach to meet the specific needs and preferences of each individual. This also allows her to objectively assess progress at the end of therapy. 

Camille is LGBTQIA+ friendly and she has experience of working with gay, lesbian, trans and non-binary people.
